Floppy by Alyssa Graybeal

Floppy by Alyssa Graybeal

One of the first books to explore the emotional landscape of living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome from a patients perspective; a playful story of falling down, getting back up again, and realizing you should have gone to the hospital sooner.

"This is not a tidy story, but in its messiness, Graybeal's book reflects the complexity of life with EDSThose coming to terms with their own chronic illness or that of a loved one will find this unflinching memoir illuminating." —Rebecca Hopman, Booklist

"In this compelling memoir, debut author and cartoonist Graybeal writes about her life living with chronic pain and her childhood diagnosis of the rare genetic connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome." —Bridgette Whitt, Library Journal
